Marine Remediation

The Detroit Water and Sewer Department used 75 Geotube® containers to remove 100,000 cubic yards of contaminated class 2 landfill from Conner Creek. This site was used as an outfall from heavy industrial manufacturing, and is part of a much larger $162 million remediation project.

Geotube® Dewatering Technology was used to remove 750,000 cubic metres of PCB laden sludge created from the Paper and pulp mill industry in Fox River, WI. A full year after operation, the Geotube® was meeting its removal goals and continues to act as an effective measure.

The Hylebos Waterway, WA, contained a toxic layer of sediment polluted with PCBs, heavy metals and other organics from years of industry. After successful pilot tests, Geotube® technology was used to meet the dewatering requirements of over 4000cy. Three Geotube® units were utilized to meet EPA and clean water objectives.
